Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP6325) and 6 other sources
Patricia Loya, a 15-year-old girl, went missing on April 26, 1993, from El Paso, Texas. Very few details are available regarding the circumstances of her disappearance. Patricia is described as biracial (Caucasian and Hispanic), with light brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she stood between 5'0" and 5'2" and weighed approximately 115 pounds. Notably, Patricia has a birthmark on her right temple and a tattoo of the word "Angel" on her left ankle. She may also go by the names "Patty" or "Angel."

Despite the efforts of authorities and missing person organizations, Patricia has not been seen since that day. Over the years, age-progressed images of Patricia have been released in the hopes of generating leads, but her case remains unsolved. Investigators continue to seek information that could help resolve her disappearance, urging anyone with details to contact the El Paso Police Department or the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The case is still open, and Patricia’s family, along with law enforcement, continues to hope for answers.
